To the horror of some of my friends, neither Jane nor I had ever been on New York City's own Staten Island Ferry. We took a return-trip ride on it this Sunday. It's pretty great -- you get a great views of New Jersey, Manhattan, Governors Island, and part of Red Hook, Brooklyn. What's more, it's completely and totally free!

I took this shot of the Statue of Liberty on the way back to Manhattan. I know it's not a great picture, but there's something I like about the how the clouds, light, and water contrast, and the fact that this iconic statue is so teeny tiny way off in the distance.
